T&T: Strike done, back to work

TUG BOAT operators last night agreed to return to work today to allow tankers to be loaded with liquefied natural gas at the Atlantic LNG filling stations.

Last Friday, some 50 workers, including captains and crew members, reportedly joined construction workers employed by sub-contractors building the Train IV project clamouring for higher wages and better working conditions.

The decision to return to work was arrived at last night as lawyers representing PLIPWIJS, a joint venture company involving State-owned corporation Plipdeco and Dutch company Svitzer-Wijsmuller International Towage, moved to get a court injunction to force the tug operators back to work.
